We run regular sessions to enable members and guests to network practically and with purpose in a 72 Minute Zoom call session.

Hosted by Peter Roper we have a guest speaker which usually is one of our members and then our attendees share information about their business and what they are looking for.

There is an opportunity for several referrals and relationships to be created in this fast-paced yet relaxed environment.

"The Family Business Practice Connect session is a fantastic way to find out more about what members and guests offer and tell everybody how you're helping people come through these challenging times. Rich Brown gave a great talk about creating our virtual presence and Peter helped put us at ease and get maximum value from the call. You can quickly get 121s lined up and finally get things moving again!" Dr. Dave Bird dave@smallbizdigitalmedia.com

"After attending my first Practice Connect session yesterday I would just like to say both how much I enjoyed it and how useful it was.
Video meetings with many people on them are difficult at the best of times and after an hour or so you may only have contributed a few words. Practice Connect is very different. In a physical setting you may describe them as more intimate. With only half a dozen people involved in a friendly and supportive way it is easy to make a contribution to the meeting and really feel part of it. I would also suggest that these sessions are an excellent way for new members to find out about the Family Business Practice and really get involved" Ian JarvisIan.jarvis@vertisaccounting.co.uk

Connect sessions are open to members and non-members and are free of charge.

Practice Connect Virtual Morning Meeting

Hosted by Peter Roper, our guest speaker this time is Steve Parker

The proverbial challenge in sales and marketing is how you get noticed and how you make clients comfortable with you and the products themselves. How you excite them and get an emotional reaction from them, so they want to keep buying and telling others to buy from you too.

But sometimes it is easy to get entirely wrong or just miss that final link that gets the reaction. Using Spa Sessions and Fermented Mustard Green, Steve will highlight lessons learned and make you think how you can improve your message and communication. P.S. Sadly due to lockdown, no samples or free sessions are included in this presentation!

There will be structured time for our attendees to share information about their business and what they are looking for.
